Jungkook has always been the type to give everything. His time, his energy, his heart. Even when he knows it won't last. Seokjin isn't. Seokjin lives carefully, cautiously, building walls out of logic and self-preservation. He doesn't believe in "forever," not when life has shown him how quickly things fall apart. Love, to him, is something fleeting. Something you enjoy while it's there, but never depend on. So when Jungkook walks into his life, bright, stubborn, patient, and impossibly sincere, Jin tries to keep his distance. But Jungkook doesn't ask for forever. He just asks for now. "Even if it's a waste," Jungkook says with a soft smile, "then waste it on me." And somehow, that's what terrifies Jin the most. Not the idea of losing Jungkook someday, but the realization that he wants something he knows he can't keep. As nights grow longer and their connection deepens, Jin is forced to confront the one thing he's been avoiding. Is something temporary still worth everything?

Throughout history, dominant individuals known as Alphas have used their power to control and own those they consider inferior, such as Betas and Omegas. Omegas have always been at the bottom of society and have often been silenced. However, fifty years ago, a law was passed responding to a series of distressing events. With specific criteria and conditions, this law was designed to protect certain Omegas from being coerced, sold, or claimed without their consent. Any Alpha who violated this law would face severe consequences, potentially including death, depending on the Omega's status. For the Omegas granted this freedom, they are bound by an important rule. They are prohibited from engaging in intimate relationships with an Alpha who is not their chosen mate, and they are also forbidden from being seen in private with an Alpha without a valid reason. Breaking this rule brought about the worst punishment that could be inflicted on these Omegas. For Jeon Jungkook, a unique and prominent Alpha who is used to having his desires fulfilled, the law never mattered to him. However, when he sets his eyes on a particular Omega deemed off-limits to him, he is driven to take extreme actions using his unique abilities to satisfy his hunger.

Jin is new in town, starting at a new high school for his senior year where he meets the ever-so-friendly and popular Park Jimin, who takes an immediate liking to him, taking him under his wings. Jungkook is a freshman in college, well-known throughout the town for more reasons than one. His bad-boy persona attracts him a lot of attention, making him overly conceited and a fuckboy believing nothing or no one is off-limits to him. Not even his stepbrother's new friend, who he has been warned to stay away from. Jin could tell Jungkook was trouble from the first time he saw him, even without Jimin's warning. Jungkook was the complete opposite of him, but it didn't stop his curiosity of wanting to know more about him. Cover by: VKOOKCELINE
